بدرٌ يحُلُّ عناداً كُلَّ منزلةٍ

بدرٌ يحُلُّ عناداً كُلَّ منزلةٍ

يَحلُّ فيها إذا ما شدَّ بَندَ قَبَا

يَحلُّ فيها إذا ما شدَّ بَندَ قَبَا

A full moon defiantly alights in every mansion

A full moon that sheds light at every stop,

where he dwells, whenever he ties his robe’s cord.

Shining wherever its cloth is fastened.

قَد عمَّهُ خَالُهُ حُسناً فصيَّرهث

قَد عمَّهُ خَالُهُ حُسناً فصيَّرهث

بدعاً فُقُلتُ لقلبي أُمَّهُ فَأبى

بدعاً فُقُلتُ لقلبي أُمَّهُ فَأبى

His mole has suffused him with beauty and made him

Its beauty encompasses it entirely, making it

a marvel; so I told my heart, “Seek him,” but it refused.

A marvel. I said to my heart, "Her mother," but it refused,

وقال واللهِ لا أهوى سواهُ ولا

وقال واللهِ لا أهوى سواهُ ولا

أكونُ يوماً للوعاتِ الهوَى سَبَبا

أكونُ يوماً للوعاتِ الهوَى سَبَبا

And it said, “By God, I love none but him, nor

Saying, "By God, I love no one but him,

will I ever be a cause of love’s torments.

And I'll never be a reason for the pains of love."

وما انتفاعي ببدرٍ لا يُفارقُهُ

وما انتفاعي ببدرٍ لا يُفارقُهُ

نَحسٌ وحسبُكَ بدرٌ قارنَ الذَّنبا

نَحسٌ وحسبُكَ بدرٌ قارنَ الذَّنبا

And what use to me is a full moon never forsaken

Of what use is a moon that misfortune never leaves,

by ill fortune? A full moon conjoined with the Tail is enough for you.”

And it's enough for you, a moon joined with guilt.
